Postpartum antihypertensive treatment: Is there a correlation to placental lesions?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveWe aimed to examine the association of clinical risk factors and placental lesions, in gestations complicated with preeclampsia, with the need for antihypertensive treatment in the early postpartum period.
methodsThe computerized files and placental reports of all singleton deliveries at 24.0-42.0 weeks complicated by preeclampsia were reviewed between January 2013 and October 2020. Obstetric characteristics and placental lesions were compared between patients who required antihypertensive treatment in the early postpartum period and those who did not (control group). Placentas were classified into maternal and fetal malperfusion lesions and inflammatory responses.
resultsAs compared to controls (n = 200), the anti-hypertensive treatment group (n = 95) was characterized by increased rates of preterm birth, preeclampsia with severe features, and cesarean delivery (p < 0.001 for all). More placental hematomas (p = 0.01) and placental maternal vascular lesions (p = 0.03) were observed in the antihypertensive treatment group as compared to controls. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, gestational age (OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.79-0.93, p = 0.001) and preeclampsia with severe features (OR 8.89, 95% CI 3.18-14.93 p < 0.001) were found to be independently associated with the need for postpartum antihypertensive treatment.
conclusionPlacental vascular lesions are more common in preeclamptic patients who need postpartum antihypertensive treatment, yet only early onset of preeclampsia with severe features was found to be independently associated with antihypertensive treatment in the early postpartum period.
